Utah Jazz 2024-25 NBA Championship Betting
Not that long ago, the Utah Jazz were a model NBA franchise and a perennial contender. From 1984 through 2022, the Utah Jazz missed the NBA Playoffs only seven times. Utah was arguably the most consistent and stable franchise in the NBA. But the Jazz missed the postseason for the second straight year in 2024 and is now the worst team in the Western Conference. Utah has been in the process of a rebuild, after eight seasons under previous head coach Quin Snyder, who produced playoff bids in his final six years. Despite all their current misery, the Jazz are giving willing gamblers some hidden value and a small profit. Wise Guys know that oddsmakers will sweeten the pot on Utah to even out the betting action.

Utah Jazz History
The Utah Jazz have been a model NBA franchise since their move to Salt Lake City in 1979 following their 1974 berth as an expansion team in New Orleans. Utah has never won an NBA title, but the Jazz have missed the postseason only eight times since making their first playoff appearance in 1984.
Utah made the NBA Finals in 1997 and 1998 with head coach Jerry Sloan and the dynamic duo of John Stockton and Karl Malone. Unfortunately, they were on the wrong end of some heroics from the great Michael Jordan in both seasons, and the Mailman was unable to deliver on a Sunday.
Long-time head coach Jerry Sloan retired in the middle of the 2010-11 season partly because of a beef with star guard Deron Williams. Tyrone Corbin was his replacement and didn’t have much success before Quin Snyder became the head coach in 2014. Snyder led the Jazz to six straight playoff appearances from 2017 to 2022, but he resigned this summer after failing to lead Utah past the second round.
